Though we like our current dining room and it certainly is not a bad space to be in, we do feel that it is time for a bit of an upgrade now that we are settled into our house a bit more and see what it needs. Though we love a beautiful white room, we have found our dining room to feel harsh and sterile in the evenings when we have friends and family

The ‘nicest place in America‘ right here in Knoxville. This melts my heart! Love this piece by Karin Olah. We saw some of her work in person last year in Charleston and loved the intricate details. Beautiful pendant light and corresponding desk lamp. We just bought one of these Open Window candles in Savannah and are excited to try it out on the upcoming cool fall nights.

I always love the regularly updated collection of favorites by Pencil and Paper Co, especially the furniture favorites. Such fun taste. These guys snuck a fake poster of themselves into McDonald’s to make an important point. Love this, especially after seeing the wonderful Crazy Rich Asians last weekend.
